Hi there, I’m Jamar.

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health and substance use fields, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals heal, grow, and live more fulfilling lives. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges,from addiction and trauma to depression, anxiety, grief, and everyday stressors.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Master’s Degree in Social Work from Norfolk State University. Over the years, I’ve provided counseling in a variety of settings, including schools, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. These experiences have shaped my understanding of people’s unique stories and strengthened my belief that healing happens through connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. In my work, I draw from therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply looking to grow, I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m actively involved in church and nonprofit initiatives that support mental wellness and uplift the community. Known for my humility, and genuine care for others, my ultimate goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, living with clarity, intention, and wellness.
